GoDaddy.com or other web hosting?

[91nordic29]

I want to get a website/domain name so that I can sell my product. I was reading about GoDaddy and it sounds like they would be a good place for a beginner. Any input will be greatly appreciated...:)

I use Go-Daddy for 2 different sites. Cheapest I've found for domain registration and hosting.
It's a one-stop site for everything. They even have a "web-site tonight" deal where they help you get the site up and running in a flash.
The have a ton of add-ons, especially for commercial sites. Things you'll need like shopping carts, credit card processing, etc.

Thanks, Alan. You are always ready to help!:)

I used them to register the domain, but I dont like thier hosting services, and the way its layed out.
I use hostpc, its really easy for first time users, and their plans are cheaper per month.
I signed up years ago, so they keep my price the same until I cancel, & haven't had any problems with them either.

Our company uses GoDaddy all the time to purchase domain names. I just bought another one yesterday.

I use godaddy dor a couple of sites and over the past 5 years, have never seen their service interrupted or down. I also like the fact if I wanna call them at 1:00 a.m. - I get a live person, not a message to call back during regular business hours.

Godaddy here also, no problems at all!

Thanks for all the input. Sounds like GoDaddy might be the one for me (I did look at the others that were mentioned also, thanks:) )

It looks like most of us use godaddy for registering our domain names.
If you are having a site built you should know what will be use for programming. For example, I use PHP for e-mailing from a page and ASP for all my other pages. Pretty straight forward. A friend had a site built that used cold fusion. That wont work with some providers and the guy who built it isn't going to host it anymore so he is searching for a new hosting service.
Just something to think about.
Now you are talking over my head, lol. I am hoping that GoDaddy has some sort of set up wizard to help me.:confused:

GoDaddy to lock up the name only.

Go Daddy. Why because the super bowl commercials:D
Also the customer service. Have you thought about eBay? You can get a store front for about the same price. Pay-pal and all other CC. I like this rout for the small stuff. You also could use a web site to direct traffic to the ebay store.

I have an ebay store (see sig line) but I want to take it to the next level. I am in between "day jobs" and want to see if I can earn this way in lieu of working for someone else. Have had some crappy luck with employers lately and am looking at other options:)

[91nordic29]

You'll be fine. They have a good setup for helping first timers. I thought you might be having one built by someone else like a friend or company and then wanted to host it on godaddy. Just forget I said anything and go for it. :D
teeeheeeheee:)

I understand that godaddy is fairly easy to use, like you mentioned. May not be the cheapest, but it will get you up an running.

we used to use godaddy... switched to 1and1.com for our new company website... less expensive and built the site ourselves using their website builder tools. As a website building semi-idiot (you know us Randy's) .. we found their website builder to be very user friendly at a lower cost.
